Changing the host name

  1. Open <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/carbon.xml file.
  2. Change the host names of the Identity Provider to match the "Common Name" of the certificate of the private key.

    Code Block
    <!--
           Host name or IP address of the machine hosting this server
           e.g. www.wso2.org, 192.168.1.10
           This is will become part of the End Point Reference of the
           services deployed on this server instance.
        -->
        <HostName>localhost</HostName>
        <!--
        Host name to be used for the Carbon management console

            The URL of the back end server. This is where the admin services are hosted and
            will be used by the clients in the front end server.
            This is required only for the Front-end server. This is used when seperating BE server from FE server

        <ServerURL>local:/${carbon.context}/services/</ServerURL>

Changing the HTTP/HTTPS ports

  • Open <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/tomcat/catalina-server.xml file and change the HTTP and HTTPS ports in the <connector> elements.
